  Parts or surfaces coatings that are subject to frictional stresses must meet a variety of different requirements. On the other hand, there is a need for a coating that is as low-friction as possible, i.e., relatively soft and therefore well suited to the wear-related wear and lubrication counterparts. On the other hand, it is necessary to have sufficiently high mechanical stability and strength to absorb static and dynamic vibration loads and thus improve its fatigue strength and life. For example, in the automotive industry, development is progressing towards higher specific performance, especially in order to improve the effectiveness of very strict standards related to exhaust gas and thereby improve the profitability and environmental adaptability of internal combustion engines. . Many parts of internal combustion engines, such as radial lubricated bearings, which are stressed by very high torque and continuously increasing ignition pressure to optimize the combustion process in direct injection turbo diesel engines, are due to this development. to be influenced. With these engine high-performance injection systems, injection pump components and their instrumentation are also subject to these high stresses, or other components such as rams, pins or rollers are affected by high loads. Aluminum alloys are often used in these parts because they can achieve a good ratio between the properties obtained and the required costs.

  In principle, its use has been known for several years, but the latest developments in this field have gradually indicated the use of so-called lubricating varnishes.

  Thus, for example, in West German Patent Publication No. 2206400 (Patent Document 1), a bond having a metal support and a friction or lubrication layer made of a high heat resistant plastic bonded to the support by an adhesive. The friction or lubrication layer is a material containing a thermosetting polyimide resin and an additive that improves the operating characteristics of the bearing, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, metal bearing alloy, etc., and the friction and / or lubrication layer Containing a polyimide resin and an additive that improves operating characteristics as a mixture of particulate or fine powder material, the mixture of particulate or fine powder in the friction and / or lubrication layer, and the friction or lubrication layer itself on the support A bonding material containing a polyimide varnish is described as a bonding agent to be bonded. In this case, the lubricating layer can contain 70-20 wt% thermosetting polyimide resin and about 30-80 wt% self-lubricating additive. Graphite, molybdenum and oxides are mentioned as self-lubricating additives.

  According to EP-A-0939106 (patent document 2), PTFE or PTFE is contained as a matrix material in combination with other fluorothermoplastics, its melting point is higher than 260 ° C., and at least one powdered polyaramid is Lubricant coating materials are known that are included and have a ratio of 10 to 50 vol% to the total amount of PTFE or a mixture of PTFE and other fluorothermoplastic materials and polyaramid.

  Furthermore, in European Patent Application Publication No. 1236914 (Patent Document 3), there is a resin film on a bearing metal layer, and the resin film has a specific physical property in an amount of 70 to 30 vol%. Lubricating bearings are described which have a functional resin and a self-lubricating additive in an amount of 30-70 vol% and have a Vickers hardness level of 20 or less. This resin can be, for example, a polyamideimide resin. Molybdenum disulfide, graphite, boron nitride, tungsten disulfide, polytetrafluoroethylene, lead and the like are listed as self-lubricating additives.

  The first object of the present invention is to provide a bearing member with a polymer coating having improved properties.

The object of the present invention is to select the ratio of the polyimide resin in the polymer layer of the bearing member from the range of the lower limit of 60% and the upper limit of 80%, and the ratio of MoS ₂ from the range of the lower limit of 15% and the upper limit of 25%. Selected, the proportion of graphite is selected from the range of a lower limit of 5% and an upper limit of 15%, and the proportion of polyimide resin preferably has dissolved polyimide resin in the solvent to be removed, ie from shaft to stationary shaft In order to prevent the transfer of substances to the bearing member, the polymer layer is related to the proportion of resin in the varnish to be applied by the engine placed on the bearing metal layer and by the use of a lubricating varnish for this purpose. Solved independently.

Compared to the lubricating varnish coatings already used in the field of lubricating bearings, the composition according to the invention surprisingly has a high wear ratio of MoS ₂ and graphite in the polyimide resin, despite the high wear resistance of the bearing members. Shows an unexpected improvement in. Surprisingly, it was expected that the adhesion of the layer would decrease and the layer would “break apart”, as would be the case with fewer polyimide resins that could be considered a binder for the friction reducing additive. . This does not occur at a selected ratio of MoS ₂ to graphite, especially the ratio of MoS ₂ to graphite that the applicant has found and currently has no theory on this. However, it is believed that there is an interaction between the MoS ₂ and graphite particles.

  In addition to the improved wear resistance associated with the bearing member according to the present invention, the resistance to cavitation is also improved. Furthermore, its corrosiveness is also reduced.

  Furthermore, the polymer layer according to the invention can be applied directly on the bearing metal layer, i.e. the nickel layer used for conventional lubricated bearings known from the prior art is no longer required as a diffusion barrier, according to the invention. Not only is the bearing member as good as a conventional multi-layer lubricated bearing in terms of its mechanical properties, but the manufacture of the bearing member of the present invention is also more economical.

  It is also advantageous that the polymer layer according to the invention is not limited to a specific bearing member but can be applied on any bearing metal according to current knowledge.

  So far, when aluminum is used as a bearing material, the bearing has not been successful due to mass transfer and fine welding of the bearing material onto the shaft, possibly caused by minute movements. These types of mass transfer can occur when the shaft lies stationary on a bearing and the entire system is in micromotion, for example, when the assembled engine is being transported to the point of use, or all of the motors are simultaneously This can happen when several motors that are adjacent to each other are in operation when not in operation. In the case of the motor according to the invention, such a mass transfer is advantageously prevented by the polymer layer, since the polymer layer has substantially no affinity for steel. However, even if there is very little mass transfer, for example, the lubrication varnish and lubrication varnish combination is better than the lubrication varnish and steel combination, even if the lubrication varnish is embedded in the roughness profile of the shaft. Furthermore, since the friction is reduced, there is no problem in practice.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the proportion of the polyimide resin with respect to the polyimide resin having a solvent is preferably selected from the range of a lower limit value of 65% and an upper limit value of 75%, or a lower limit value of 67.5% and an upper limit value of 72.5%. Or the proportion of polyamide resin can be 70%.

Similarly, the ratio of MoS ₂ is selected from the range of a lower limit value of 17% and an upper limit value of 22%, or a lower limit value of 18.5% and an upper limit value of 21.5%, or the ratio of MoS ₂ is 20%. Is advantageous.

  Furthermore, according to a further development of the invention, the proportion of graphite is selected from the range of a lower limit of 7% and an upper limit of 13% or a lower limit of 8.5% and an upper limit of 11.5%, or graphite. The ratio is 10%.

  For all of these embodiments or for all of the following data relating to the lower limit and the upper limit, the respective proportions can be selected from the respective limited ranges between the lower limit and the upper limit as required.

  It has been found to be particularly advantageous when a polyamideimide resin is used as the polyimide resin for the polymer layer.

  Not only can the above measures optimize all of the properties of the polymer layer, but even if the further properties of the polymer layer are not improved to the same extent, individual properties, specifically, for example, It is also possible to adapt the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, resistance to friction welding, etc. to each use area.

The MoS ₂ platelets have a lower limit of 10 μm and an upper limit of 40 μm, a lower limit of 15 μm and an upper limit of 35 μm, or an average length selected from a range of a lower limit of 18 μm and an upper limit of 25 μm, and / or a lower limit of 10 μm and an upper limit of 40 μm. An average width selected from the range of a lower limit of 15 μm and an upper limit of 35 μm, or a lower limit of 18 μm and an upper limit of 25 μm, and / or a lower limit of 2 nm and an upper limit of 20 nm, a lower limit of 5 nm and an upper limit of 15 nm, or a lower limit of 5 nm and an upper limit of It can have an average height selected from the range of 8 nm.

  Further, graphite can be used in a particle size selected from the range of a lower limit of 2 μm and an upper limit of 8 μm.

The ratio of MoS ₂ to graphite can be selected from the range of a lower limit of 1.5: 1 and an upper limit of 4.5: 1 according to a further development of the invention.

Thus, the self-lubricating behavior of the polymer layer takes into account the respective proportions of MoS ₂ or graphite as required, that is, by changing the proportion of these two additives and the polyimide resin, At least one of the properties can be varied over a wide range, in particular to suit each application.

  The bearing metal layer is based on aluminum alloy, tin alloy, lead alloy, copper alloy, CuPb alloy, AlSn alloy, AlZn, AlSi, AlSnSi, CuAl, CuSn, CuZn, CuSnZn, CuZnSn, CuBi and AlBi. The latter alloys are well known with respect to their properties from the relevant literature on bearing members and need not be described in further detail here. In this case, the advantage is that the adhesion of the polymer layer to these bearing metal materials is improved without using the necessary adhesive interlayer.

  As already mentioned, it is also advantageous if the polymer layer is arranged directly on the bearing metal layer so that a normally used diffusion barrier layer, such as a nickel barrier, can be dispensed with.

  Furthermore, it is possible with a particularly good adhesion to place the bearing metal layer directly on the support, i.e. without intermediate layers and adhesive means, thereby simplifying the assembly of the bearing member. Therefore, in some cases, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  DIN EN ISO wherein the surface of the polymer layer is selected from the range of a lower limit of 0.2 μm and an upper limit of 1.5 μm, a lower limit of 0.5 μm and an upper limit of 1.0 μm, or a lower limit of 0.8 μm and an upper limit of 0.9 μm When having an arithmetic mean roughness value Ra according to 4287 or ASME B 46.1, or according to a further embodiment, the surface of the polymer layer has a lower limit of 0.5 μm, an upper limit of 10 μm, a lower limit of 3 μm and an upper limit of 8 μm. Alternatively, the case of having a maximum roughness profile height Rz according to DIN EN ISO 4287 or ASME B 46.1 selected from a range with a lower limit of 5 μm and an upper limit of 6 μm proves to be advantageous after testing of the bearing member according to the invention. It was.

  By these means, on the other hand, during the warm-up phase, there is a smaller contact surface to the shaft to be mounted, due to the profile tip, when viewed against the entire inner surface of the bearing member, thereby The bearing is achieved to have the necessary play tolerances since there is lower friction, as would be expected simply from the choice or polyimide resin-steel combination, on the other hand, after this warm-up phase, the tip wears down considerably. .

  The polymer layer can have an average thickness selected from the range of a lower limit of 1 μm and an upper limit of 40 μm, a lower limit of 3 μm and an upper limit of 30 μm, or a lower limit of 4 μm and an upper limit of 25 μm, whereby the bearing member is For example, it can be adapted according to each application, such as large bearings or small bearings, so that corresponding cost optimization can be achieved with the long-term reliable and uniform properties of the bearing members.

  The polymer layer advantageously has a Vickers hardness selected from the range of a lower limit of 20 HV and an upper limit of 45 HV, a lower limit of 22 HV and an upper limit of 35 HV, or a lower limit of 25 HV and an upper limit of 30 HV, thereby improving appropriately. The obtained lubrication characteristic can be obtained together with sufficient fatigue strength of the bearing member.

  In particular, the bearing member is designed as a lubricated bearing cylinder or half cylinder or a bearing bush.

  The polymer layer used in a motor having a fixed shaft for the bearing member is formed in particular by a polymer layer having a composition according to the invention. However, the polymer layer is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, polyimide resin, epoxy resin, phenol resin, polyamide 6, polyamide 66, polyoxymethylene, silicon, polyaryl ether ketone, polyaryl ether-ether ketone, polyvinylidene difluoride, It is also possible to form with polymers selected from the group comprising sulfurized polyethylene, so that these polymers have completely different properties, especially with respect to mass transfer from the shaft to the bearing member caused by micromotion. Adjustments can be made corresponding to the exercise performed.

In this case, the polymer layer can be used not only to ensure “transport safety”, but also to appropriately reduce the sliding friction between the bearing member and the shaft, at least during the warm-up phase of the engine. , And friction reducing additives such as MoS ₂ , graphite, boron nitride (hexagonal), tungsten disulfide, PTFE, lead, and the like.

  As already described, in particular polytetrafluoroethylene, polyimide resin, epoxy resin, phenol resin, polyamide 6, polyamide 66, polyoxymethylene, silicon, polyaryletherketone, polyarylether-etherketone, polyvinylidene difluoride A lubricating varnish made of a polymer selected from the group comprising sulfurized polyethylene can be used on the bearing member to form a polymer layer as a protective layer for preventing mass transfer from the fixed shaft onto the bearing member. In this way, it is possible to complete the engine directly at the manufacturer without the need for special precautions or risk of bearing material being welded to the shaft when transporting an already completed engine. . Thus, it is possible to supply such parts in pre-assembled form to each customer, especially the automotive industry, known to increasingly purchase finished parts with a lower damage rate to the parts. It is.

  For a better understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following drawings.

  First, in the various described embodiments, the same parts are given the same reference numerals and the same part names, so that the disclosure contained throughout the description is the same parts with the same reference numerals and the same part names. Note that it is applicable to Indications of positions used in the description, eg, top, bottom, sides, etc., relate to the figure described at that time and should be replaced with new positions after the position is changed. Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the various different embodiments shown and described can form independent inventive solutions in their own right.

  A bearing member 1 according to FIG. 1 includes a support 2, a bearing metal layer 3, and a polymer layer 4 as an operation layer. The support 2 is usually made of steel, but of course can also be made of a compatible material that can serve the same or a similar function, i.e. provide the mechanical strength of the bearing member 1. . Therefore, since the mechanical strength of the entire bearing member 1 depends on each field of use, for example, various different copper alloys such as brass and bronze can be used. In addition, the support 2 ensures a certain degree of shape stability.

  The bearing metal layer 3 is formed of a bearing metal alloy. The bearing metal alloy in this embodiment includes an aluminum matrix embedded with at least one soft phase and hard particles. The at least one soft phase can be formed by at least one element from the first group of elements including tin, antimony, indium and bismuth. The hard particles can be formed by at least one element of the second element group including, for example, copper, manganese, cobalt, chromium and iron, or can be formed by scandium and / or zirconium elements. These hard particles can also be formed particularly by an intermetallic phase of scandium and / or zirconium element or element of the second element group and aluminum, or an intermetallic phase formed by the element.

  Of course, any other soft phase and / or hard particles known from the prior art can be included in the bearing metal alloy.

  Operation of the bearing member 1 causes an anomaly in the polymer layer 4 so that if the bearing metal layer 3 is at least almost in direct contact with the component to be attached, for example a shaft, the soft phase causes the bearing member 1 to It is possible to impart operational characteristics. Thus, the bearing member 1 is also provided with the ability to embed hard particles resulting from wear after use of the bearing member 1. The hard particles provide the necessary mechanical strength for the aluminum alloy.

  Alloys based on tin, bismuth, indium, lead or aluminum, and alloys based on high lead content CuPb, AlSn or AlBi are also suitable for the bearing metal layer 3. In particular, a tin-based alloy containing more tin is advantageous. Even lead-free copper-based alloys can be used.

  The copper-based bearing metals that can be used are, for example, CuPb22Sn2, CuPb10Sn10, CuPb15Sn7, CuSn6, and CuSn4Zn1. In particular, lead-free copper alloys based on the CuAl, CuSn, CuZn, CuSnZn, CuZnSn and CuBi systems are advantageous in terms of lower levels of contamination.

  Tin-based bearing metals that can be used are, for example, SnSb8Cu4 and SnSb12Cu6Pb.

  Lead-based bearing metals that can be used are, for example, PbSb10Sn6, PbSb15Sn10, and PbSb15SnAs.

  As the aluminum bearing metal, for example, AlSn40, AlSn20, AlSn25, AlSn10, AlSn6, and the like can be formed.

  It is also possible to use a bearing metal comprising an AlZn system, for example AlZn4SiPb, an AlSi system, for example AlSi11CuMgNi, or an AlSnSi system, for example AlSn20Si4.

According to the present invention, the polymer layer 4 is made of polyimide resin, molybdenum sulfide and graphite, and the ratio of the polyimide resin in the polymer layer 4 is selected from the range of the lower limit value of 60% and the upper limit value of 80%, and the ratio of MoS ₂ is The lower limit value is 15% and the upper limit value is 25%, and the ratio of graphite is selected from the lower limit value 5% and the upper limit value 15%.

The resin can be provided in at least one solvent, particularly an organic solvent that can improve its processability, such as xylol. In this specification, the ratio of the solvent is the ratio of the resin, that is, the lower limit value 40 wt% and the upper limit value 80 wt%, particularly the lower limit value 50 wt% and the upper limit value 70 wt%, preferably the lower limit value 60 wt. % And an upper limit value of 65 wt% can be selected. Accordingly, the dry resin content, particularly the polyamideimide resin, has a lower limit of 20 wt% and an upper limit of 50 wt%, particularly a lower limit of 30 wt% and an upper limit of 40 wt%, preferably a lower limit of 35 wt% and an upper limit of 37.5 wt%. You can choose from. In this respect, the polymer layer 4 applied according to the invention has a given value with respect to the dry content of, for example, 35 wt% polyamideimide resin, 45 wt% MoS ₂ and 20 wt% graphite, or the individual content of the polymer layer 4. It can have a dry composition calculated from the range.

If desired, the polymer layer 4 may contain further additives to increase its mechanical strength, for example a fiber matrix, for example aramid fibers, hard materials, for example carbides, oxides, nitrides. it can. These types of additives are already known from the prior art relating to these types of polymer layers 4 for the bearing member 1, for example from EP 1 236 914. Thus, for example, it is possible to use _{CrO 2, Fe 3 O 4,} PbO, ZnO, CdO, Al 2 O 3, SiO 2, SnO 2, SiC, hard materials made from Si ₃ N _4, Their proportions can be varied within the usual ranges as described, for example, in the above-mentioned European Patent Application No. 1236914.

  It is also particularly advantageous to adjust the friction value using hard particles already contained in the layer 3.

It is also particularly advantageous if the ratio of the ratio of MoS ₂ to graphite in the polymer layer 4 is selected from the range 1.5: 1 to 4.5: 1, for example 1.5: 1 to 2.5: 1. .

  With respect to the composition for the polymer layer 4 according to the invention, it is possible to produce an operating layer with good lubrication and emergency operating properties allowing even a dry operation if necessary. This is particularly characterized by requiring little maintenance. It is also possible to operate with very little or no lubricant. If desired, water can be used for lubrication, which is particularly advantageous when the bearing member 1 according to the invention is used, for example, in connection with a pump. Not only a corresponding mass reduction, but also a lower sensitivity to the bearing end pressure can be observed.

  The bearing member 1 according to the invention may be used in other fields, for example as a thrust ring, a lubricating bush, etc., especially for use in the automotive industry, instead of the design as a lubricating bearing half-body shown in FIG. it can.

Table 1 describes examples of compositions selected from the range according to the invention with respect to the proportion of polyimide resin with solvent to be removed, MoS ₂ and graphite for the polymer layer 4, and these The examples are, of course, not limiting of the invention, but merely illustrating the features of the invention.

A bearing member 1 having this composition consisting of a steel protective cylinder with a CuPb22Sn2 bearing metal applied thereon and then a polymer layer 4 applied thereon was produced. Subsequent investigations have shown that this composition provides very similar properties for the bearing member 1, so in the following these properties are 70% polyimide resin, 20% MoS ₂ and 10% graphite. Only the example of the polymer layer 4 contained is considered with respect to the bearing member 1.

  In contrast to the critical value for 100% friction welding of a bearing according to the present invention, a prior art standard bearing with a PTFE coating on AlSn40 has a worse critical value of about 87% compared under the same experimental conditions. Have.

  Wear resistance was measured for bearings with the same dimensions and the same lubrication conditions. The polymer layer 4 according to the invention was shown to have an abrasion resistance that is 8 times better than the PTFE layer.

  In further investigation, a polymer layer 4 having this composition according to the present invention is applied over a bearing metal layer made from CuPb22Sn2 or AlSn25 and the wear resistance varies within ± 5% of the value achieved by AlSn40. I found out. This means that the polymer layer 4 according to the invention can be applied on at least all current bearing metals without significantly changing their superior properties.

  Corresponding improvements can also be achieved with respect to corrosion.

In FIG. 2, the critical corrosion limit is given in percent relative to the percent ratio of graphite and MoS ₂ , with 100% values being standard for a composition of 70% resin, 20% MoS ₂ and 10% graphite. Each number can be taken from Table 2. From this graph it is clearly confirmed that the polymer layer 4 according to the invention, i.e. the bearing member 1 with the layer, has a far superior result in terms of critical corrosion limit than the corresponding polyimide resin layer known from the prior art. can do.

With regard to self-lubricating behavior, it has been found that the properties can be improved when MoS ₂ platelets having the dimensions already mentioned above are used.

  It is also advantageous if graphite having a particle size selected from a range with a lower limit of 2 μm and an upper limit of 8 μm is used.

  Further improvements in properties, particularly wear and corrosion resistance to cavitation in both warm-up mode and continuous operation, should be achieved when the bearing member 1 is made with a polymer layer 4 constructed according to the present invention. This polymer layer 4 has a value relating to the roughness profile Rz according to DIN ISO 4287 or ASME B46.1, according to the values already described or selected from a given range, or likewise DIN ISO 4287 or ASME It has a roughness profile with an arithmetic average roughness value Ra according to B46.1.

  In the manufacture of the bearing member 1 according to the invention, the bearing metal layer 3 is formed on the metal support 2 by methods known from the prior art, for example rolling, injection molding, sintering, electrolyte deposition or by sputtering. It is implemented in this way. The polymer layer 4 according to the invention can also be applied on the bearing metal layer 3 by methods known from the prior art, for example by spraying or coating, and the polymer layer can then be heat-treated. Suitable pretreatments are also known from the prior art, which means that they do not have to be considered here.

  The polymer layer 4 according to the invention is particularly suitable for the device of a bearing member 1 for an engine, the polymer layer 4 avoiding mass transfer from the shaft to the bearing metal or bearing member 1 and may cause engine failure. Used as a protective layer or “packaging layer” to prevent welding. It is also possible to coat the shaft itself with a polymer layer 4 in order to obtain and increase this effect. In general, the polymer layer 4 can be used as a so-called protective layer to prevent such fine welding caused by mass transfer from the mounted part to the corresponding bearing part.

In addition to the particularly preferred polymer layer 4 according to the invention, for this design of a protective layer or “packaging layer” for transporting already assembled engines with stationary shafts, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyimide resin, epoxy It is also possible to use polymer layers based on resins, phenolic resins, polyamide 6, polyamide 66, polyoxymethylene, silicon, polyaryl ether ketone, polyaryl ether-ether ketone, vinylidene difluoride, polyethylene sulfide, and mixtures thereof. Self-lubricating additives such as MoS ₂ , graphite, hexagonal BN, various metal sulfides, etc., as well as the hard particles already described, can also be added to the polymer.

  The exemplary embodiments show possible design variations of the bearing member 1 and the invention is not limited to the specifically shown embodiments, but rather various different combinations of the individual embodiment variants are possible. It should be noted at this point that these possible variations are within the abilities of those skilled in the art based on the technical teaching of the present invention. Accordingly, all possible design variations that are possible by combining the details of the individual embodiments shown and described are covered by the protection of this patent.

  Formally, for a better understanding of the structure of the bearing member 1, it is mentioned that the bearing member 1 and its parts are not completely true to scale and / or have been enlarged and / or reduced in size. Keep it.

  The first object of the independent solution according to the invention can be understood from this description.
